Fox News Presenter Calls for Iran Annihilation

Fox News does another statement whoops, but has it gone too far with the current political climate? ; What if the three little pigs got actual news and social media coverage? The Guardian gets creative; Lebanese watching the Lebanon v. UAE game categorized; George Clooney's reaction to gay rumors.

Fox News has always been that place where nutjob conservatives ramble about how poor people and foreigners are ruining the world (or at least, America). Once this agenda was realized, everyone mutually agreed, let them have their fun; nobody's really buying it.
But with threats of bombing Iran and the dangerous repercussions of that decision, is it straight up irresponsible to elude to an Iran holocaust? 'Journalist' Tucker Carlson didn't think so at the time.

In light of their 'open journalism' campaign, The Guardian have made this extremely clever video. It plays with the scenario of having the three little pigs as real people put on trial, including the news coverage, smart phone usage and social media that would come with it. It's ridiculously inventive.
"Creatively they did so by imagining how they would report on the "three little pigs" story if it happened today... The story unfolds over headlines, reader's interventions, arrests of the three little pigs, a courtroom artist drawing on a tablet, riots complete with smartphones to shoot the action (the behind the scenes photos are just amazing one simply has to see them)."

When it came to the Lebanon v. UAE football game, we laughed, we cried, we cheered, we jeered. But everyone had their own response to this precedent from the sporting world. Elie from Lebanon gets creative and categorizes them. Which one were you?
"Almost everyone in Lebanon sat in front of their TV sets yesterday to watch as our country took on the UAE in Abu Dhabi on their quest to qualify to the second and final round of the 2014 FIFA World Cup."

Silver fox George Clooney is the new male celeb to be slapped with some gay rumors. Instead of getting into a huff over how he's a 'real man' or whatever 'manly men' celebrities do, he genuinely laughs it off. Click on to see what he said. It's actually quite dignified.
"My private life is private, and I’m very happy in it. Who does it hurt if someone thinks I’m gay? I’ll be long dead and there will still be people who say I was gay. I don’t give a shit.”
